About this property

Overview

CORE Higueron Fase II is a collection of two and three-bedroom apartments in Fuengirola, built above the AP-7 towards the mountains. The homes are large, from 105 to 160 square metres, with terraces from 32 to 103 square metres. South-facing orientation means direct sun for much of the day. The larger terraces suit buyers who spend time outdoors and want space for dining or lounging with clear views over the coast.

The apartments sit within the wider Higueron complex, which has restaurants, sports facilities and a spa. Playa de Torreblanca is a 21-minute walk or seven minutes by car. Mercadona is 11 minutes on foot. Málaga Airport is half an hour by car. The British College is 12 minutes away, and Golf Benalmadena Pitch & Putt is nine minutes. The location works for families who want proximity to international schools and the beach without living in the centre of town.

The development has two infinity pools, a gym, a spa, paddle tennis courts and a putting green. These are communal facilities shared across the complex. The apartments come with parking and storage. Being above the motorway means road noise can carry, particularly on lower floors or when winds blow in from the south. Buyers who prefer a quiet setting may find the position less suited to them than plots further inland or away from the AP-7.

CORE HIGUERON Fase II: Frequently Asked Questions

Playa de Torreblanca is 1.7 kilometres away, which is a 21-minute walk or seven minutes by car. The walk is uphill on the return, so most residents drive or take a taxi. The beach itself is long and has a mix of sand and shingle, with beach bars and parking nearby.

The apartments range from 105 to 160 square metres, with two or three bedrooms and two bathrooms. Terraces run from 32 to 103 square metres. The larger terraces are deep enough for a full dining table and separate seating area, while the smaller ones suit a breakfast table and sun loungers.

A Mercadona supermarket is 11 minutes on foot, and Playa de Torreblanca is 21 minutes. The wider Higueron complex has restaurants and a spa you can walk to. For schools, the town centre, the marina and most other amenities, you will need a car because the development sits above the motorway towards the hills.

All the apartments face south, so they receive direct sun for most of the day. The views take in the coast, the Mediterranean and the surrounding hills. South orientation means the terraces stay warm in winter but can get very hot in summer, particularly on the larger units with full exposure.

Málaga Airport is 14 kilometres away, about half an hour by car in normal traffic. The route is straightforward along the AP-7 and A-7 coast road. The short transfer makes the apartments practical for lock-up-and-leave use, and guests arriving for a holiday rental can reach the development quickly.

Buying off-plan in Fuengirola means reserving a property before or during construction. You pay a reservation deposit (typically €6,000 to €12,000), then sign a private purchase contract within 30 days and pay a further 10 to 20% of the purchase price. Staged payments follow the construction milestones. The final 60 to 70% is paid at notary completion when the keys are handed over.

Under Spanish law (Law 57/1968 and its 2015 successor), all off-plan deposits must be covered by a bank guarantee or insurance policy. Your lawyer must verify this before you pay any money. If the developer fails to deliver, you can claim 100% of your deposit plus 6% annual interest. Never transfer funds without a confirmed guarantee in your name.

Spanish law mandates three tiers: a 10-year structural guarantee (Seguro Decenal) for serious structural defects, a 3-year guarantee for habitability issues (waterproofing, insulation, installations), and a 1-year guarantee on finishes and fixtures. These run from the date the licence of first occupation (licencia de primera ocupación) is issued.

New-build purchases are subject to 10% IVA (VAT) on the purchase price, plus 1.2% AJD (stamp duty) in Andalucía. Parking spaces or storage sold separately may attract 21% IVA. Add notary, land registry and legal fees (1 to 2%), budget 12 to 15% on top of the purchase price in total acquisition costs.

Most developers allow personalisation during the early construction phase, choices of floor tiles, kitchen units, bathroom fixtures, paint colours and sometimes layout tweaks. The window for changes is typically 3 to 6 months after signing the contract. Structural changes are rarely possible once work has started. Your sales representative will provide a customisation deadline and specification sheet.

Typical build time in coastal Spain is 18 to 30 months from licence grant to completion. Delays of 3 to 6 months are common due to weather, supply-chain or permit issues. Your contract should specify a longstop completion date and the compensation you are owed for any overrun. Always check whether the building licence has already been granted before reserving.

Key due-diligence points: (1) confirm the building licence is granted, not just applied for; (2) verify all deposits are bank-guaranteed in your name; (3) check the developer's track record and financial standing; (4) review the specification sheet and what is included in the price; (5) confirm the estimated completion date and longstop clause; (6) have an independent Spanish lawyer review the contract before you sign anything.

Yes, both are required before the final notary signing. You can reserve with a passport, but your Spanish NIE (foreigner tax number) is needed for the private purchase contract and your Spanish bank account for the staged transfers. Your lawyer can obtain your NIE with a power of attorney in 2 to 4 weeks. Open the bank account on your first trip to Spain or remotely via certain Spanish banks.

Yes. Spanish banks lend to non-residents at typical LTVs of 60 to 70% of the lower of purchase price or valuation (vs 80% for residents). Rates are competitive with the rest of the eurozone. You will need 6 months of bank statements, tax returns and proof of income, pre-approval takes 2 to 4 weeks.

Recommended for serious buyers. A mortgage in principle confirms your budget, signals credibility to sellers and shortens completion. We can introduce you to specialist non-resident mortgage brokers familiar with the local market.

Resale property in Andalucía: ITP (transfer tax) at 7%. New-build: 10% IVA + 1.2% AJD (stamp duty). Plus notary, land registry and legal fees of roughly 1 to 2%. Budget 10 to 13% on top of the asking price for total acquisition costs.

Annual IBI (council tax) is typically 0.4 to 1.1% of cadastral value. Community fees on apartments and gated villas range €100 to €600/month depending on amenities. Non-resident owners pay an annual income tax based on cadastral value, plus utilities and home insurance.

In Spain the seller pays the agent commission (typically 3 to 6% + VAT), already baked into the asking price. Buyers do not pay agent fees on resale or new-build.
